Eddie Jones, Race Engineer,
#26 NYSE Dallara/Honda/Firestone, on the Bridgestone Indy Japan 300:
"Motegi is unique in that Turns 1 and 2 are much like a superspeedway with the cars running flat-out.
Then you get to Turns 3 and 4, which are more like a short oval where the driver will downshift one or two
gears. You need a car that works very well in the slower corner, but also has minimal drag to get through
Turns 1 and 2 and down the back straight. Most overtaking is done going down the back straight and into
Turn 3, so you need good straight line speed. Motegi definitely presents a compromise in how you set the
car up."
